Abstract
A knitting needle designed specifically for achieving particularly fine divisions, or another knitting tool (), has a narrower working section () and a wider support section (), whereby the support section () is provided with a positioning means (), for example, having the form of a slit () or having the form of a rib (). The knitting tool () is associated with a fixing means () in the form of a projection () or a groove () on the side of the bar (). Due to this measure, the support sections () of the knitting tools () may be arranged—in close proximity to each other, in contact with or at a minimal distance from each other—on the bar (), so that a maximum cross-section is available for configuring the support section (). This provides strong stability for the knitting tools ()—even in cases of extremely fine divisions—and, at the same time, provides precise alignment and avoids division errors.
